I find it endlessly amusing when men expect a level of domestic labour from me that I don't even do for myself. If I haven't built my own life around cooking every single day, what exactly makes you think you'll be the exception?
Being cheated on.
You will literally feel like you’re choking on your own heart or someone physically stabbed your heart continuously yet you’re still breathing.
We occupy different worlds, geographically and financially. Tomorrow’s march may not affect your livelihood, but don’t be so quick to call it stupid or unnecessary. For many South Africans, it’s about survival, dignity and being heard. The masses are tired and fed up.
One thing I’ve noticed about women with depth is that they rarely speak in absolutes. Life has humbled them too many times for that. They know good people can make terrible decisions. They know love doesn’t always save a relationship. They know timing can ruin something beautiful. They know being right and being happy are often two different choices. Experience has a way of replacing certainty with understanding.
It is based on a riddle to highlight incompatibility. If a bird and fish mate, where would they live? If they choose water, the bird will drown. If they choose air, the fish will die because it needs water.
Did you know it’s completely ILLEGAL for tuckshops to charge an extra "Speedpoint fee" (R2–R10) to swipe your card, or add extra fees on airtime? 💳
Section 23 of the CPA & banking rules state the shelf price MUST be the price at the till. Surcharging is strictly forbidden.
This widespread trend is a massive regulatory failure—the NCC and banks are asleep at the wheel while consumers get exploited daily by lawless pricing.
Fight back:
1️⃣ Demand the displayed price.
2️⃣ Snap a photo of illegal fee signs.
3️⃣ Report them to the machine provider (Yoco, Flash, or bank) or the Consumer Ombud (CGSO: [email protected]).
Know your rights. Retweet to stop the exploitation! 📢🇿🇦
